Art Pepper SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD Contemporary / OJC 1977 / 1991 Notes: "The club is often thought of by Jazz artists as the best place to play in New York and possibly the nation; cynics might say that's because all the other places are so rotten, but that's a bit too glib to explain the Vanguard's longevity."

Me too nowadays. Back then I had just graduated and still had some of that student idealism left. By then I had almost given up on reading the NME which seemed to be becoming increasingly left wing (not to say increasingly hypocritical as well) even for my stomach. Of course the world of work and adult responsibilities would further broaden my outlook in the years to come. It might have saved me a lot time if someone had explained the truth about human nature back then. Those naughty adults and all the grown up stuff they won't tell you! Generally musicians tend to portray themselves to being the left of the political spectrum, mainly I supsect for commercial reasons given the average age of their fans. The one exception was Mick Jagger who once quipped that his heart was Labour (left of center) but his money was Tory (right of center). Anyway, here is that would be eternal teenager in one of his better moments.

James Williams and ICU TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE BLUES Evidence 1996 Notes : While James Williams calls his Intensive Care Unit "a Jazz-Gospel ensemble, for lack of a better description," its blend of the sacred and the secular and its use of both lyrics and wordless vocals place the pianist's latest project in the beyond-category realm of such immortals as Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams.
